Too many to pick. There are a lot where I would wear out one or two tracks because I love them to death, but I'll listen to just about the rest of it anyway.

But, so far as overall greatness, in that EVERY track is a winner, here're my picks, in no particular order:

The Rock - Hans Zimmer
Enemy at the Gates - James Horner
Band of Brothers - Michael Kamen
X-Men - Michael Kamen
The Patriot - John Williams
The Empire Strikes Back: Special Edition - John Williams
Pearl Harbor - Hans Zimmer
Tears of the Sun - Hans Zimmer
Broken Arrow - Hans Zimmer
X-Men 2 - John Ottman

This is by no means complete; just what I could think of off the top of my head.

"Departure of Boba Fett." I find myself whistling that incessantly.

DaaaAAAh DAH DAH! DAAAH! DAAAAAH!

Soundtrack (ie songs with words): Top Gun

Score (ie songs without): It's a toss up between the two Lord of the Rings scores.

For Soundtracks as in songs with words, I'd have to go with 'Titan AE' believe it or not.

I really like that song in "Children of Dune", when they are doing the Godfather thing, and making all the hits.

Gladiator theme, just plain beautiful.

The Matrix theatrical theme, not the rock song, that's just plain awful.

Episode I's Duel of the Fates.

All I can think about for the moment.

"Alexander Nevsky" - Sergei Prokofiev. Yet to be beat.

Did you watch the documentary on the Pioneer DVD with the Geinoh Yamshiro Gumi? The part where they revealed that one of the instrumentshas to be 100 years old before it can be played properly was cool as hell.

Big Danny Elfman fan, so I'm going for Beetlejuice

Empire Strikes Back

Parts of Attack of the Clones soundtrack also are good

2001 a Space Oddysey, because of the actual composers (and some I think Lucciano Berio piece, as well as the Strauss') such high culture for a movie

Apollo 13... though I like the movie itself heaps by itself

Lord of the Rings, Fellowship and 2 towers (Both have alot of the same material)

Prince of Egypt (the actual soundtrack, none of this stupid pop singer stuff)

Saving Private Ryan

sure there's others, just can't think of any....

"Flash Gordon." Come on, what's not to like about a soundtrack featuring a wedding march played by Queen??

As for serious film scores, my favourites are:

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
Sleepy Hollow
Conan The Barbarian
Ivan The Terrible
all the Star Wars soundtracks
Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
Highlander (the Michael Kamen part of it)
2001: A Space Odyssey
